The Greater New York Chamber Hosts SBA Lunch & Learn: Helping Small Businesses Start, Grow, and Succeed

The Greater New York Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a successful Lunch and Learn event in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), titled "How SBA Programs and Services Can Help You Start, Grow, and Succeed."

Attendees gathered for an informative and engaging session that highlighted the wide range of SBA programs available to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey. The presentation covered essential topics such as business planning, access to capital, government contracting, exporting, and free mentorship opportunities through SBA resource partners like SCORE and Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs).

The session offered practical insights on how to navigate SBA loan programs, prepare for business growth, and tap into government resources designed to empower small businesses. A lively Q&A followed the presentation, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions specific to their needs and connect directly with SBA representatives.

The Chamber is proud to facilitate events like this that equip our members and local entrepreneurs with tools and connections to help them succeed.
